He also attributed his success to hard work, and not to any society.

DAVIDO’S ‘UNPAID DEBTS’

Davido and Dammy Krane engaged in a social media altercation last week over allegations of unpaid debts. 

Dammy Krane earlier said the singer refused to pay him for his songwriting contribution to a track.

He pleaded with Davido to honour their contract for the sake of his daughter.

“I know it is hard for rich people to pay debts but @davido if not for my sake Blooda, pay me my money at least because of my daughter’s sake – your niece if at all,” he had said.

“School fees no easy for Naija now o, na everybody de try to secure their future. Na money we want no be wahala o.”

Dammy Krane also made a mockery of Davido’s name while accusing him of “ruining” his record label deal with Sony Music.

Reacting to Dammy Krane’s allegations, Davido described the singer as “ungrateful”.

Davido said he “never got paid” for his music collaborations with Dammy Krane.

He also claimed that he “housed and fed” the singer when he was “homeless”.

Various prominent individuals also stepped forward, claiming that the singer owed them money.

One of the allegations was from Abu Salami, a businessman, who accused the music star of making threats after breaching a financial agreement related to a children football’s project.

Salami claimed Davido failed to fulfil his part of the contract, which he said was “worth over N200 million”.

Samklef, the singer, also joined in calling out Davido.

Blessing CEO, a relationship coach, claimed that Davido is yet to pay Ikechukwu Ogbonna (IVD), the auto dealer, the sum of N4.5 million for a car he bought for Israel DMW, his aide.

Joseph testified that the deceased’s landed property was in the custody of his mother-in-law. He added that the deceased often told him about his possessions held by his wife and her family.

He claimed that Mohbad’s wife put sleeping pills into his food sometimes.

According to Joseph, his daughter-in-law had been unfaithful to the deceased.
